Re: [jdt-core-dev] Help checking out jdt-core projects

The branch R4_4_maintenance as you can
see from here: http://git.eclipse.org/c/jdt/eclipse.jdt.core.git/log/?h=R4_4_maintenance

However, if you are working for a bug
targeted for 4.5, then you should really be working on master. Unless a
bug has been marked for 4.4.*, you don't need the R4_4_maintenance branch.
The current development branch is master, which will be used up for 4.5
(Mars) builds and only specific regressions/critical fixes will be released
in R4_4_maintenance. In other words, you will always be working on master
unless you are back porting a bug.

As for the bugs you mentioned, I don't
think there's much to do in bug 440503.
We are still having some discussion there and when everyone is happy, I
will fix the compliance level for the test projects. And good luck with
the other two.

Regards,
Jay

First of all, I would really like to thank
Jay for his support so far. I don't think I could have reached so far without
his valuable FAQ's update.
I've successfully ran the test cases as described
in the FAQ page (no modifications made to any of the projects). Just to
make sure I got the environment working fine and have a feeling of the
expected behavior of running the tests before I actually do any coding.

Since I'm very excited to contribute to JDT/Core;
I have found me some bugs that I can work on and deliver to Gerrit during
the next period. I'm thinking of starting with 294945, then 440503 and
finally trying to solve this monster: 224708.
If you think I can contribute to something
more important, I would be glad to help.

My problem is that according to Jay's update
on the FAQ (https://wiki.eclipse.org/JDT_Core_Committer_FAQ#What_branch_should_I_use.3F);
I should be working on R4_4_maintenance branch (since some of these bugs
are shouldn't take time). 
I tried looking it up but seems it does not
exist yet.
Should I continue working on the master branch, wait for the creation of
R4_4_maintenance branch or create it myself, if applicable?
If I'm to wait for the creation of the maintenance
branch; when is it expected to be created, please?
If I'm to create it, if I am allowed to,
is there anything I should take care of before doing so?

Your input is highly appreciated.
